Quantum circuit training faces phase-locking challenges in single-qubit designs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new research paper published on arXiv explores the training dynamics of quantum circuits, specifically comparing single-qubit re-uploading circuits with multi-qubit counterparts. The study reveals that while single-qubit circuits can represent any function a multi-qubit circuit can with the same encoding budget, this comes at a cost during first-order training due to a phenomenon called 'phase-locking.' This phase-locking limits the number of accessible directions for parameter updates, making them significantly slower to train compared to multi-qubit circuits, especially on complex or real-world datasets.

    Same Spectrum, Harder First-Order Training: Phase-Locking in Single- versus Multi-Qubit Re-Uploading Circuits

    arXiv:2610.21778v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Angle-encoded variational quantum circuits implement truncated Fourier series. For one-dimensional inputs, a single-qubit re-uploading (serial) circuit represents every function that a multi-qubit circuit with the same encoding bu…
